Dr Bluebeard will see you now: Gothic Opera remakes Bartok's opera and sets it in an Edwardian sanatorium
[…] Morning Nurse, Katherine MacRae as The Noon Nurse, Charlotte Osborn as The Evening Nurse. These three sang vocal lines extracted from the score by Lee Haxby, effectively forming a chorus that echoed and amplified the existing vocal lines. Bartok: Bluebeard's Castle - Carmine de Amicis, Alice Usher, Katherine MacRae, Charlotte Osborn- Gothic Opera (photo Nick Rutter) The main protagonist was The Patient, danced by Carmine de Amicis in his own choreography; De Amicis was also the associate director.

The production will combine sound design, digital animation and dance. The company will be working with director Julia Mintzer and choreographer Carmine de Amicis, with mezzo-soprano Alexandra Long and bass-baritone Simon Wilding, conducted by Thomas Payne.

With Der Vampyr, the company took an irreverent and feminist approach, retelling a nineteenth century opera through the contemporary lens of consent and agency. With Bluebeard's Castle they are taking a similarly active approach. Leon Haxby's orchestration extracts vocal lines for three female singers from the original […]
